Still learning
Okay so I just spent like at least 20 minutes typing this big long entry with all the quotes and explainations and everything just to have it all go away due to a stupid computer error! ARGH! So, unfortunately, you will all just have to make do with the following short and sweet version:
Today I set out to figure out what my minimum fat intake should be each day. Turns out there is no minimum. There is only a maximum of 30%. However, in doing this research I also discovered that the minimum protein for a healthy adult is 0.8g per kg of desired body weight and that 10%-20% of your daily calories should come from protein. I also discovered how to figure out how much carbohydrates I need each day so here are the new numbers I have come to:
240 calories from protein =60g =16%
441 calories from fat =49g =30%
795 calories from carbohydrates =199g =54%
1476 total calories per day =100%
For more info on how I came to these numbers, please refer to the following websites:

Thank you and have a nice day! :-)
